While the approach of each series is a little different (Giant killing focuses on a professional adult team, has a larger focus on the manager who's more the crafty sort and whistle is a highschool team with a greater focus on friendship) they both focus on soccer, underdog teams working their way to the top, and a wide variety of characters to enjoy.
Whistle's animation style is a little dated in comparison but it like giant killing is a great series to enjoy for sports anime fans.

Ginga e Kickoff!! and Giant Killing both focus on soccer. In Ginga e Kickoff, the main character Sho Ota loves soccer and loves it so much that he goes out of his way to form a soccer team, and a good one at that. Sho shows his passion for soccer, and in the end, they all have no regrets. In Giant Killing its a little different, the main character is not a player on the team but the coach. He has a history though as an amazing soccer player. He helps the weaker players become stronger and the strong ones become more honorable. He really is the heart of the anime, anyone else would ruin the anime and i wouldn't be making this recommendation. I think you'll love both anime because they share the topic of soccer and they show a losing team becoming a winning one. I'm not saying you have to agree with me but i still highly recommend that if you liked one of these anime, you'd definitely like the other.
